在基辅遭受俄罗斯袭击的背景下,乌克兰网球选手马尔塔·科斯蒂乌克(Marta Kostyuk)于本周二赢得半决赛,以 6-3、6-2 的比分击败贾斯明·保利尼(Jasmine Paolini),首次闯入温布尔登锦标赛四强 [1]。她是继伊莉娜·斯维托丽娜之后第二位进入该赛事决赛圈的乌克兰女选手 [1]。科斯蒂乌克表示,尽管家乡在袭击期间比赛极为艰难,但她努力不让此事影响赛场表现 [1]。
针对国际奥委会(IOC)周二临时解除对俄罗斯运动员参赛限制并建议单项体育组织取消俄选手“中立”身份的决定,科斯蒂乌克表达了强烈不满 [1]。她直言:"100% 不同意这一决定”,认为该举措违背了公平竞赛原则 [1]。此外,她还表示希望在未来的奥运会上击败所有代表俄罗斯的选手 [1]。
Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk defeated Jasmine Paolini with scores of 6-3, 6-2 [1], marking her first appearance in the Wimbledon quarterfinals [1]. This achievement makes her only the second Ukrainian woman to reach this stage at the tournament after Elina Svitolina [1]. During a match that was difficult for Kostyuk due to Russian attacks on Kyiv occurring while she played, she managed not to let those events affect her performance [1]. Despite reaching the quarterfinals, Kostyuk strongly criticized the International Olympic Committee's decision made Tuesday to temporarily lift restrictions on Russia and suggest sports organizations remove "neutral" status from its athletes [1]. She stated that she is 100% against this decision [1] and expressed a desire to defeat all Russian players at future Olympics if given the chance [1].
